Actually, I think this is the first time UM has appeared in a cartoon while being conspicuously Optimus-esque. In RiD and Animated he was totally unique, and in G1 the inner robot thing was never brought up.

True enough, I guess I should say toy wise he has never quite gotten to be Optimus.

I get the feeling the PRID toy's design came from the Binder, whereas the BH toy's design came straight from the show's designers, so it would make more sense for cartoon to use a design it created instead of one created by a different group.

Here it is gents, the first three episodes of Beast Hunters! Thanks to YouTube member ShaktisiPhoneHelp, we have this hour-long clip that features all three episodes. Unfortunately, the audio is a little off. Frustating, I know, but watching this makes it worth the hour of headaches trying to match up the audio.

Oh yeah, and whoever said Smokescreen wasn't going to be named the next Prime... can eat their words.
